My invention relates to improvements in hats, and has for its object to provide means whereby the lining, of the hat can be utilized as a traveling-cap. I attain this object by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in WhlCl1- Figure 1 is avertical section of the hat and traveling-cap; and Fig. 2, a plan of the under side thereof, partly in section.

Similarletters refer to similar parts through out the several views.

The hat-brim a, preferably the front portion 1) thereof, so as to increase 'its stiifness and thereby prevent it breaking, through saluting, I form double, and on the inner edge with a slit c,which forms a pocket and serves for the reception of the peak 0 of the traveliug-cap. The crown d of the said travelingcap fits into the crown of the hat and when placed in position forms the lining of the hat.
